I’m short and tan, not stick thin, and I have minimal curves. I used to be (well sometimes still am) insecure about all these things. Because beauty trends tend to work well on tall, thin and fair bodies. But my parents gave me my proudly Southeast Asian skin tone, this body and this pair of eyes that will never fit into the mono-lided siren standard of beauty. Trends come and go, but fashion should always be fun & bold & playful.
And it is only fun when it is YOU. & so much fun to be had when you work with wildly talented and imaginative creatives !!!
From the depths of my heart, I have insane gratitude for my glam team, who fulfilled, and elevated a vision I had that I wasn’t even sure I could pull off until everything came together.
Thank you
